HDMI™ 1.2 certified VS481 enables easy switching among four digital video signals
April 19, 2007 (Press Release) --
Taipei, Taiwan, April 18th, 2007. ATEN International, leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of advanced connectivity solutions, enriches its wide range of video products with the introduction of its new VS481 4-Port HDMI Switch. This economical solution for home theaters allows users to share their HDMI display device with up to four HDMI input sources such as HD DVD players, satellite systems, digital camcorders or video game consoles.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), the newest digital interface for digital audio and video data, has captured the home theater market. HDMI combines audio and video signals in one cable and provides content protection. Due to these advantages, the number of input sources with HDMI connections is constantly growing. However, most of the display devices, such as HDTV-compatible plasma screens, only provide one HDMI input connector. Users would have to alternately unplug and plug in the different devices. ATEN’s VS481 solves this problem by connecting up to four different HDMI devices to one HDMI display device.
The VS481 allows users to conveniently switch between the connected digital devices by selecting the desired input source via the IR remote control unit or the front panel pushbuttons. VS481 features a user-friendly design with one of the four HDMI input ports located on the front panel. Thus, users can easily access devices, such as digital camcorders, without always having to move around the HDMI switch for connection. In addition, the HDMI switch provides LEDs to indicate the video source channels. Thanks to the Plug-and-Play function, the setup of VS481 is very fast and easy - no software installation is required.
Furthermore, it supports excellent video resolutions, i.e. HDTV resolutions of 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p, and computer resolutions of VGA, SVGA, SXGA (1280x1024) and UXGA (1600x1200).
VS481 has successfully passed the inspection that is performed by HDMI ATC (Authorized Testing Center), and has received certification for HDMI ver. 1.2. HDMI ATC is a laboratory dedicated to HDMI compliance testings, according to the specification that is defined in the HDMI Adopter's Agreement. The compliance testing shows whether a product is to bear the HDMI logo, and promotes greater interoperability between HDMI devices from different manufacturers. In addition to the HDMI ver. 1.2 certification, VS481 is also fully HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliant.
ATEN’s VS481 4-Port HDMI Switch is available now. The MSRP for VS481 is 129 Euro, not including VAT.
